Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Reviewshake you could make: review collection and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $276 a year.
What you could make
- Review collection and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- It plugs into other products, Zapier, Square and Sikka among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
What this rests on. Reviewshake’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
